I went back to work full time (ish) about 6 months ago. I'm a consultant, paid by the hour, and while I have a flexible schedule I generally work between 30-50 hours / week. All billable, I do no networking, etc. (I should - but there's no time).
Prior to that I was home, in grad school before that.
DH is cranky as all get out about the time I'm spending working. Yet, he doesn't want me to stop working. It's as if he magically wants me to find 6-8 hours/day that don't.remotely.impact. him. to do my work in a hidden location while magically getting everything else done.
Oh - and while I work those 30-50 hours/ week? DS 2 is home TWO of them. He's 5 and is a very high needs kid. But, DH doesn't want him in daycare those two off days - and he really can't be because he has therapists appointments, OT, etc.
Yet...yeah. It just stinks. Juggling it is hard, being told that I'm not juggling well enough to protect DH from being impacted really drives me up the wall. He's spent the past two weeks huffing about like a cranky teenager.
